The Knicks had their best performance of the year last night after a players only dinner in Utah. Gio says the Knicks are still not on his radar as they did nothing to improve the team in the offseason. Gio says the Knicks are going nowhere. They are stuck in NBA purgatory. Boomer also watched the Devils last night and Gio says nobody cares about that either. Gio is on fire this morning with Boomer talking about the Knicks because he doesn’t care. Jerry starts with the Knicks win in Utah. Julius Randle talked about the players only dinner. The Nets were steamrolled by the Sacramento Kings. The Yankees re-signed Anthony Rizzo. Buck Showalter won Manager of the Year in the NL. Jerry Jones has confusing comments about signing OBJ. The Devils won their 10th straight game last night. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about Anthony Rizzo coming back to the Yankees and we’ll see if that helps the Aaron Judge situation. It will all come down to how huge the SF Giants offer is. Boomer also thinks taxes will come into play with Jacob deGrom. If he goes to the Texas Rangers, he will save a ton of money in taxes.
We started with some NFL scuttlebutt regarding Head Coaches retiring after this season: Belilchick, Harbaugh and Tomlin. One of them is rumored to be retiring after this season. Boomer says the 49’ers are the best team in the NFC. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Knicks beating the Jazz in Utah after a players only dinner. Gio wonders if there’s nightlife in Salt Lake City. The Nets got hammered in Sacramento by the Kings. Shaq called Charles Barkley a 'fat boy’ last night. We heard from Buck Showalter on winning his fourth Manager of The Year. Did Buck deserve it? Are the younger WRs frustrated by the way Aaron Rodgers talks about them? The Devils have now won 10 straight games. And John Tortorella was kicked in the face by a horse. In the final segment of the hour, a person more famous than Gio lives near him and she reached out to him on Instagram. A high school student in an acapella group who has over 200K Instagram followers.
Gio got into an argument with a friend yesterday about the Giants. His friend said if you like the Lions this week, ‘that is asinine’. Gio thinks the Lions can win because they put up points and the Giants can only seem to manage 24 points a game. OBJ to the Giants. Get him here, makes a ton of sense. Jerry returns for an update but first we talk about potential snow in Buffalo for the Bills/Browns game. Jerry Jones was asked about bringing in OBJ. Lesean McCoy was on with Kay Adams and said Bill Belichick is an overrated coach. Buck Showalter talked about winning NL Manager of The Year. The Knicks beat the Jazz. The Nets got blown out by the Kings. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer seems to really be against the OBJ/Giants potential reunion. Boomer said Dallas is the perfect place for him to go. Where else could OBJ wind up? Antonio Brown posted old texts from Tom Brady. It makes Tom Brady look really good which we don’t think AB was trying to do.
We have no interest in the World Cup, especially running during the NFL season. We also took calls from Giants fans who want OBJ and some who don’t want OBJ. Boomer wonders why OBJ would even want to come to the Giants since they have one of the worst passing offenses in the league. Jerry returns for an update and has audio of a Danish reporter in Qatar who gets shut down. Boomer wants to invade Qatar if they keep treating reporters like this. Buck Showalter talked about winning the NL Manager of The Year. In the final segment of the show, Anthony Gallo couldn’t come in studio this segment because he had to help Sean Morash with something. He does eventually come in to explain some World Cup stuff for us.
